The first teaser landed for Castle Rock, the long-awaited Stephen King-themed 10-episode series produced by King and J.J. Abrams. Set in the eerie titular town, the show will feature characters and ideas from a multitude of King's novels, and stars Andre Holland, Sissy Spacek, Jane Levy, Melanie Lynskey and, Pennywise himself, Bill Skarsgard (albeit in a different role).

Set to premiere this summer, Hulu is no doubt hoping it'll become the next big "water cooler show" like Lost or Stranger Things, and with such a bevy of talent attached, not to mention the insane potential of expanding King's live-action universe, it's got as good a chance as anything.
